5 Challengers for Charlotte Flair if she becomes the NXT Women’s Champion at WrestleMania 36

#4 Io Shirai

Io Shirai would be a great choice to pit against Flair

Io Shirai was out with an injury that required some time to heal, but the Genius from the Sky was able to overcome the odds once again and returned to action far quicker than expected. She’s defeated Aliyah on NXT during the Ladder Match qualifier and will compete in the Ladder Match to crown the next challenger for the NXT Women’s Championship after WrestleMania.

While Shirai had her chances against Shayna Baszler earlier, fans are aware of just how talented and skilled the Japanese Superstar is. Even though she’d been unlucky before, we could watch her win the Ladder match and emerge as the next challenger to the NXT Women’s Champion.

Charlotte Flair is a favorite at the moment, and if she defeats Rhea Ripley at Wrestlemania, fans could be in for a rivalry of a lifetime as Shirai is as good as anyone in the ring and could be a real threat to The Queen.

The outcome could be a clash that no one is expecting at the moment but can take the entire brand by storm, and we won’t be surprised if NXT chooses Shirai to be the one to end Flair’s reign whenever they have to.
